Micrococcal nuclease (MNase) is a classical endonuclease preparation for nucleic acids (a historical name). Common commercial preparations are derived from Staphylococcus-related strains and can act on single-stranded and double-stranded DNA as well as RNA.
Targets and Release Using Nuclease (CUT&RUN) experimental technology is an emerging chromatin analysis method for studying protein-DNA interactions. It uses antibodies to specifically label target proteins, and then uses nucleases bound to antibodies (such as pAG-MNase) to cut DNA fragments that ...
